Merlyn on Monday: Telling the Truth

Arthur: “Am I going to marry his [King Leodegrance] daughter?”Merlyn: “Certainly. She is called Guenever.”Arthur: “Look, Merlyn, I don’t like knowing about the future, and I am not sure whether I believe in it….”Merlyn: “There are some things…which I have to tell you, whether you believe in them or not. The trouble is, I can’t help feeling there is one thing which I have forgotten to tell.”
